Do it. You usually can't lose more than what you invest if your start-up fails.

They have no skills. If you're going to do this just start your own thing, you'll do 99% of the work anyway and that way you'll also get 99% of the reward should it succeed (which it won't).

They're also programmers/engineers, I don't think that'll be an issue.

Well basically I'm losing my job and income over a long shot.
Study the business plan, the marketing plan, financial plan and the market study. Give it a shot if the obstacles identified in the business plan are reasonably practical to overcome.
The vast majority of ``start-ups'' do not last more than a year. Of those that last more than a year, 99% don't make real money--ever. They just wait to be acquired. Sounds pretty shitty if you ask me. You have to take some risks if you want to make money; that's why I deal in malware.

Sound Jewish. Only an evil person, like a Jew, would conceive such a wicked scheme.

That's how some of these so-called security companies work. Their subscriptions are protection rackets, like the Mafia. There's also a Jewish connection. Intel bought McAfee. McAfee's business model is based on flaws in Windows and competes with free products like MS Security Essentials. If MS rolls out Singularity or people switch to another OS they'd be dead overnight. So why would Intel want McAfee, even with their own extreme dependency on Windows? Because McAfee knows about unpublished Windows security holes. That alone is worth billions. There is proof that Stuxnet, Duqu, Flame, etc. contained Hebrew idioms and references to Israeli events. Intel Israel could have worked with the Mossad.

I doubt Intel really needs some security company, when they can leave a backdoor inside processor design itself. Same for Microsoft, which is a Jewish company (both Ballmer and Gates have Jewish ancestry) that supports Israel and Jewish people as a whole.

Anyway, big companies like Intel and MS will use their backdoors only in extreme circumstances of war against a very powerful opponent.

I don't do drugs or anything, but I had read it as MS raping backdoors in extreme circumcisions of war against very powerful opponent vaginas.

Here's what you do:
Tell your buddies that you'll work part time at the beginning. If you have skills they can't find elsewhere, your absence will be felt. If you only putting in part-time is enough to stop their plan, they never had enough motivation to see it through to the end. You'll be glad that you didn't spend a whole year living unnecessarily below your current standard. Also, your time will be better spent when the groundwork is laid by someone else.
Should they surprise you with their work ethic, devote more and more time to the plan. Hopefully, the business model is set up so that you can start making a profit asap.
Keep your day job in case the idea doesn't pan out.

I first thought of that, but it doesn't seem like it'll work out that way. I have been coming to their office "part time" for a few weeks now, they're working some 12 hours every day and I, after I get off my own job can add two at most there and then I have no life left. I don't doubt their work ethic but the idea is one of those things that'll either work and make you bajillionaires, or be a complete waste of time without making you a dime.
